Next week’s IAAPA show in Orlando, Florida, US, will see the North American launch of the new Australian-built Cotton Candy World, a self-cleaning and attendant-free candy floss machine from MC Global Games, based in Queensland.
MC Global’s principal, Ray McGowan, has been joined by US industry veteran Paul Jacobs to head up his North American sales and their product can be seen at the show on the stand of Gold Standard Games (booth 1911).
Cotton Candy World is currently operating very successfully in a number of leading Australian family entertainment centres where the product, providing non-sticky, dry and fluffy candy floss, has been an instant winner. It vends a fresh floss in just 70 seconds, the assembly of the treat being visible through a locked frontal panel. After completion of the production of the floss, the door unlocks.
The attractive cabinet, with its eye-catching top display, is built of robust zinc-coated steel and its footprint is compact, widening the range of locations for which the unit is suited.
Cotton Candy World has been three years in development, by McGowan and he told us that his Australian FEC feedback shows that return on investment is about 20 weeks. It is well suited, he maintains, not just for FECs, but a wide range of other locations, such as bowling centres, movie theatres and shopping complexes.
